Guys used to play through concussions as well ...... look at how that worked out for a lot of those players.

People often point to the "good old days", when players sometimes played through pain and injuries. A good number of players from those "good old days" wound up with scrambled eggs for brains, and some have committed suicide. I don't think that anybody would ever question the toughness of Junior Seau, Mike Webster, Dave Duerson, or Andre Waters ...... but all of those players are now in a pine box, 6 feet under the ground, all of them died far too young. Sometimes we forget that these football players (both past and present) are human.

If Jim Otto had a bone of his finger literally sticking through his skin and wrapped a towel around his hand and continued playing, good for him ...... I personally don't hold players (past or present) to such insanely high standards.
